Note: Please ensure the extender is ready (power LED
( ) on, not flashing) before activating WPS.
If your wireless router/access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
then you can use this method to set up your Wi-Fi extender’s 2.4GHz & 5GHz
network. The extender’s WPS is dependent on your router’s access/point
WPS – so if you activate WPS for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on your router/access point,
the extender will connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi when you activate its WPS. To
additionally set up your extender’s 5GHz Wi-Fi you would then need to
repeat the process but activate WPS for 5GHz Wi-Fi, not 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, on
your router/access point.
For the EW-7238RPD the WPS setup process is the same for 2.4GHz and/or
5GHz Wi-Fi. Whether the extender connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or 5GHz Wi-Fi is
entirely dependent on your router/access point and which of its frequency
bands you activate WPS for.
Note: Please take care not to hold the WPS button for
too long – this may result in inadvertently resetting
the extender or router/access point.
1. Press and hold the WPS/Reset button on the wireless router/access
point for the correct length of time (check router/access point’s user
manual) to activate its WPS for 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
